abstract

We evaluate finite part of the on-shell action for black brane solutions of Einstein gravity on different subregions of spacetime enclosed by null boundaries. These subregions include the intersection of WDW patch with past/future interior and left/right exterior for a two sided black brane. Identifying the on-shell action on the exterior regions with subregion complexity one finds that it obeys subadditivity condition. This gives an insight to define a new quantity named mutual complexity. We will also consider certain subregion that is a part of spacetime which could be causally connected to an operator localized behind/outside the horizon. Taking into account all terms needed to have a diffeomorphism invariant action with a well-defined variational principle, one observes that the main contribution that results to a nontrivial behavior of the on-shell action comes from joint points where two lightlike boundaries (including horizon) intersect. A spacelike boundary gives rise to a linear time growth, while we have a classical contribution due to a timelike boundary that is given by the free energy.

Complexity Inequalities for Quantum Subsystems

hep-th · 2026-06-18 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Defines tripartite complexity and complexity gap for three-subsystem states and reports that the gap has definite sign across holographic CV, Fisher-Rao, and Krylov measures, suggesting it as a building block for complexity inequalities.

The Entanglement Wedge Polygon

hep-th · 2026-06-19 · conditional · novelty 5.0

The entanglement wedge polygon volume is proposed as a holographic probe of multipartite entanglement; in AdS3 it is topologically quantized, and a mixed-state generalization is constructed.
